Hi I am working on learning linux and postgres and I don't get the instructions for installing the library. I have libpostal working and installed and i have it working for python. Install postgressql and the contrib packages and i found Pg_config file. After that i am not sure what to do. I looked at the makefile for libpostal and i don't see the options in the instructions. Do you happen to have any more detailed instructions.

Thanks,
Matt

Look at the Makefile for pgsql-postal, edit the POSTAL_INCLUDE and POSTAL_LIBS variables to point to your libpostal install location (often /usr/local as in the defaults). Check that pg_config is in your path by just typing it at the command line. At that point you should be able to just type make in the pgsql-postal directory and the build should go. It's all in the README and I'm not sure how to make it more detailed. I could try automating it, but that would cause as many problems as it solves (using cmake means now... you need cmake).
